  • Give isotope (50 Thamium9) – You’ll get a blueprint and increased Vy’keen standing.

  • Give isotope (50 Plutonium)
  • Give silicate (50 Chrysonite) – You’ll get a companion unit blueprint and more reputation.


11. Description: The warrior is old, and of a high rank. It takes its time studying my body, and my equipment – and snarls with disapproval. It grabs my visor suddenly, and watches me instinctively flinch and recoil. It lets me go and rolls its eyes while I fall back in shock.

13. Description: As I approach, the warrior appears alert and welcoming. Suddenly, however, a personal alarm sounds from its datapad. The lifeform instinctively falls into some kind of trance.

  • Refuse to help
  • Give fuel (50 Plutonium) – This will net you a blueprint and some reputation.


15. Description: The warrior’s nostrils flare as I approach. It inhales deeply and barks out what could be a warning. I hurriedly mime that I am peaceful, and know little of its kind or language.
It takes a second to think, then suddenly grabs my multi-tool while barking again into my visor – streaking it with saliva. It’s pointing at the indicator that shows which elements I carry. I do my best to keep calm.

16. Description: The storage vault at the warrior’s feet shows clear signs of tampering. In fact, an explosive device has been attached to its hinges. The lifeform sees my shocked expression, and yelps in amusement.

Answers:
  • Choose the shield – Exosuit Tech
  • Choose the blade – You’ll get a new multitool if you pick this.


18. Description: The warrior looks at me with fire in its eyes. This species is clearly aggressive, and I doubt I’m welcome, yet the lifeform bows in greeting. Tradition and honor perhaps dictates it.

Answers:
  • Refuse
  • Hand over the multi-tool – The warrior will give you a new one.


19. Description: The downbeat lifeform is studying the image of another young warrior on its pad. The pictured warrior looks virile and impressive. It has facial tendrils that are outstretched. It appears rich, of good breeding stock. The look in its eyes is… sultry.
